Events
Strengthening Our Social Fabric
We are bridging divides by creating opportunities to convene our community to explore and expand ideas while deepening human connection. Join us all year round and get inspired and forge new relationships at one or all of our public event programs. Join us at PechaKucha Night for an evening of exhilarating fast-paced visual storytelling experience, featuring local creatives and changemakers. We are developing Spark, our city-wide networking event, designed to break biases to forge unexpected allies. Currently in development is the revived IF: Imagined Futures, a summit convening local, national, and global changemakers to forge a workable solutions on our most pressing issues.
All events are free and open to the public.
